What are the school rules/classroom rules and how are they enforced?

I think a lot of the rules are one that are mostly expected of kids in the 6th grade but one behavior issue that has been happening lately is, coming to and from recess they get really loud. Today the teacher gave them a chance to rectify that but they failed quite badly, so tomorrow for recess they will be practicing coming up and down the stairs quietly. I feel like this is a fitting consequence.


There is a reward system that works fairly well, I think it would work better if she, the teacher, used it more frequently. They have what are called Class Bucks, they can earn these through good behavior, staying on task, helping the teacher and other students, for exceptional work… etc. After a while they have and auction in which the teacher brings things and the students can bring stuff to sell as well for other students to buy. One problem is that there isn’t a set time period for the auction, I think the kids would be more proactive in earning bucks if they had a deadline to earn as much as they could
